Max Lamont Thomas 71, passed away on October 27, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Max was born February 19, 1953, in Malad City, Idaho to Samuel Monte and Maureen Thomas.

Max grew up and graduated high school in Buena Park, California. He was a fun-loving guy. He loved his family, friends, music, sports and the outdoors. He loved living in Idaho. He could name any flying, crawling or walking animal that would cross his path. He saw hundreds of concerts in the 70's.

In 1979 he married his first wife Susan, on the Malad courthouse lawn and celebrated at the Chat n Chew. He could play the guitar and carry a tune. Max played on adult softball leagues and in 1981 his team won the championship in Chino, California. He owned dogs (or maybe they owned him) and Max was a kind and caring dog owner. He once rescued a desert tortoise in 1980 from a California highway and Jess (the tortoise is still thriving today).

He is survived by his loving wife Lisa and 2 children Derek and Whitney, his sister Annette, brother Mark and nieces and nephews. One of his most memorable experiences was when he took his wife Lisa to one of many rock concerts. He loved to buy her many things with what little he had. He would gladly give you the shirt off his back. He loved to tell stories of his life and escapades.

Funeral Services were held on Wednesday October 30,2024 at 7pm at Horsley Funeral Home . A viewing will be held prior to the service at 6pm.
